KEY POINTS
- •Every Artemis II parameter is data for ISRO engineers
- •Chandrayaan-3 successful, Gaganyaan in preparation -- India projects itself into the mission
- •Complete silence on the Chinese lunar program -- spatial non-alignment
BIASES
Permanent benchmarking: every foreign mission serves as an ISRO standardSpatial non-alignment that avoids naming China as competitorNational pride in Chandrayaan coloring the reading of Artemis
